Pride makes us artificial, and humility makes us real. According to Thomas Merton.

For those who have met the chubby, handsome Nigerian Canadian Oderinde Qasim Abiola you will agree he is an epitome of humility.

He is a serial entrepreneur who has masterminded a lot of catalysts in the Nigerian entertainment industry and in the diaspora.

Hunter as he is popularly called started show business far back in the late 90’s as one of Nigeria's youngest film marketers in the early stage of Nollywood.

He started with the tour that had award winning Nigerian comedians, Kenny black and MC Funny bones around different provinces and cities in Canada. Immediately after that he had a boat cruise tagged club on the sea, and within a month brought Wasiu Alabi Pasuma to Canada.

One amazing trend with this series of events was the support he got from the community and all the events got sold out.
